I took this photo of a hyacinth in our yard when I was taking a photography class at the Muse Writers Center in Norfolk. It turned out so beautifully that I framed it and hung it in my office.

I used my GorillaPod mini tripod to set up this photo. I love that thing – the flexible legs can wrap around anything, I can set it up on a table or the ground, and I often end up carrying my camera around with it, which sometimes makes it easier to make a shot. Cool tool.

This is my contribution to Photo Friday‘s weekly photo challenge. This week’s topic is Floral.
